ImportAlliance Spring Meet 2020 at Atlanta Motor Speedway

Rescheduled for July 11-12, 2020

UPDATE: Due to the state of emergency invoked by federal, state and local governments, ImportAlliance has been forced to postpone the event scheduled for March 28-29. We are very disappointed to have to take this action but we have been left with no choice due to the circumstances. We are also sure our customers are disappointed by these developments but we appreciate your understanding and support while we all deal with the fallout presented by this crisis.

With that being said we have worked diligently with Atlanta Motor Speedway to secure a new, rescheduled date for July 11-12, 2020. The tickets, including drifting passes, you have already purchased are valid for the rescheduled date. You will not need to repurchase tickets. All Showcase, Spotlight and Old School will be honored. As a thank you to anyone who has already pre-purchased (before March 16th) a ticket we are giving you a special t-shirt for free that will be available for pick up at the event in July.

Make sure to contact your hotel, booking agency, or lodging provider to change your reservation to the new dates. In light of the number of events having to make changes these providers are working with customers to help make reservation changes or cancelations.

These are unprecedented times, and as much we thank you sincerely for your understanding & flexibility.

Saturday and Sunday July 11-12, 2020

This is our 12th year in Atlanta and we are expecting a huge turnout. As usual the Atlanta Motor Speedway will host the event, and this year will be better than ever. Last year’s Spring Meet was the largest ImportAlliance event ever. We had almost 9000 cars and twice that many people in attendance. This year we are working hard to make it even better.

How are we going to make it better than ever…? The answer is with new programming. This year will feature the IA Builder Competition with participants competing to win recognition as one of the top three cars at the Spring Meet. As always we will have the ImportAlliance Showcase which seems to bring out better and better cars every year. The ImportAlliance Drift will have tires smoking and the Drift Competition will bring the best of the best drivers in head to head competition.

With record setting numbers comes the problems of getting people into the event as quickly as possible. So this year will also feature some major improvements to our process to help the lines into the event go more smoothly. Infield vehicle tickets will be available on a first come first serve basis to those individuals that want to park inside the speedway. Spectator parking will be available outside of the speedway to accommodate those individuals who want to be a part of the event but who don’t want to bring their car inside. We believe that this will make things better for everyone. You will go to the large paved lot outside to have your ticket(s) scanned and then proceed to go inside the speedway.

Individuals parking inside will stage in the large parking lot outside and have their tickets scanned and proceed inside. ALL TICKETS BOTH GENERAL ADMISSION AND INFIELD TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED IN ADVANCE.

In addition to improving the staging process we will for the first time be making it possible to pick up your armbands in multiple locations around McDonough, GA. We are partnering with local hotels and business to have advance remote pickup of all credentials to get in to the event. This will not do anything other than make the line flow faster. There is no priority for those who pick up their armbands early. However, we estimate that the time spent scanning at the gate will be significantly reduced and the lines will move faster with more people picking up their armbands in advance.

Please plan on joining us for the largest all import car meet in the United States. We guarantee you don’t want to miss it.

EVENT PROGRAMMING

IA Car Meet

We would like to welcome everyone to participate in our car meet. It is a fun opportunity to spend a weekend with your friends and to make new ones. There are thousands and thousands of cars that participate each year.

The ImportAlliance Builder Showdown will change the dynamic of the current import car culture. Our goal with the new IA Builder Showcase is to reinvigorate and inspire new groundbreaking builds where virtually every nut and bolt on the vehicle is touched.

Builder Competition Details

On Saturday a judging panel composed of industry professionals will select the ImportAlliance Super Six cars from the approved applications for the IA Super Builder Competition. On Sunday 2 of the IA Super Six will be presented with the ImportAlliance Pinnacle Award (1 European and 1 Asian). The Super Six 6 will also earn points towards the grand finale prize of having their car sent to the SEMA Show sponsored by our vendors. More information will follow on how to apply and rules.

As always the IA Showcase will continue to highlight some of the best cars in the region. We are expecting the IA Builder Competition to create more excitement to build cars with the highest level of quality, innovation and execution.

The ImportAlliance Showcase

The 3 things we look for in showcase vehicles are quality, innovation, and execution. We do our best to have a diverse assortment of cars (anything from race cars to stance cars and everything in the middle.) There is a limited number of spaces available in the Showcase parking.

ImportAlliance is a meet for enthusiasts of import cars and we want everyone to feel welcome. The showcase and vendor area is limited to import cars. Domestics will not be approved. This area is just for fun. Trophies will not be given.

ImportAlliance Spotlight

The IA Spring Meet we play host to the ImportAllianceSpotlight. This part of our meet will allow us to highlight a special type of vehicle. The type of vehicle will rotate at each event. For the IA Spring Meet the chosen vehicles will be the Toyota Supra. Vehicle owners will be eligible to park together in the IA Spotlight area. Space is limited and we need you to register car for this section so we can be prepared for the number of vehicle.

ImportAlliance Old School Corral

At the IA Spring Meet we will be intruding a new section, the ImportAlliance Old School Corral. This new part of our meet will allow us to highlight a special type of vehicle. The type of vehicle will rotate at each event. For the IA Spring Meet the chosen vehicles will be old school and vintage import cars that are model year 1987 and older will be eligible to park together in the IA Spotlight area. Space is limited and we need you to register car for this section so we can be prepared for the number of vehicle.

Finally, we are always concerned about your safety coming to our events and leaving. Please be careful on your way to ATL and on you way home….it’s no fun hearing the stories of accidents coming to the show and leaving the show. Also, part of keeping pedestrians and attendees as safe as possible means each driver needs to be responsible. That means no burnouts and demonstrations of power. Lets keep the shenanigans to a minimum. Safety is a huge priority for us.

No fighting.

The reason we have to have these rules is because someone decided to do one of the above at one of our events. Please do not make us add another rule.

No refunds or transfer of tickets.

The Local police department will be providing security and traffic control for this event.
